I have a new niece well shes 2 almost 3, her name is emily, i felt as you did and tried to take my life serveral times, altough im still depressed and still try to take my life sumtimes, i never can because every time i try i see her in my mind smiling at me, and i realize i have a reason to live, and she gives me the hope that without her i otherwise would have lost

I just want to let you know that your poem really inspired me. I couldn't stand my life, but then my brothers girlfriend was pregnant and I came to the conclusion I was going to be an aunt for the first time. I would be called Aunt Trista! I was never more happy in my life. I can completely understand your situation and I hope things for you only got better. God bless you and you neice !

I love the poem. It really relates to what I was going through. It's kind of scary because the same thing happen to me. My brother had a new baby daughter and she changed my life all around and now everything is cool in my life.

This poem put into words what I have felt. I'm just 16, but have unfortunately also felt the pains of not wanting to go on anymore. My older sister is 5 months pregnect. Maybe, if I'm lucky, my nephew's birth will dawn a "new beginning" for myself.
